Alex McDonald - 'Five Marathons. Five Days. Completely Fasted. The Data'

Alex McDonald has embraced a low carb high fat (LCHF) lifestyle since January 2010. Initially, he planned a one-month test of low carb and then expected to return to his original diet. The drastic improvements in his well-being during that first month were so compelling that returning became impossible. For over a decade, Alex has delved deep into the research underpinning low carbohydrate and ketogenic diets, including the completion of Sports Nutrition and LCHF Advisor Training through the Nutrition Network and attendance at several global LCHF conferences. Although he briefly engaged in running during his late twenties and completed three half marathons, more than a decade had passed without participating in long-distance events. In 2023, Alex decided to prove the science of low carb nutrition by running five marathons in five days while completely fasted. Please consider supporting Low Carb Down Under via Patreon.
